Giveaway

Giveaway?

Did that catch your eye?

I just recieved a copy of the new Holiday Issue of McCall's quilting December 2009 issue. I was excited to see my quilt made the cover, AGAIN... folded and stacked with designers such as Chloe and Colleen from Toadusew, Sarah and Delores from Homestead Hearth and a dear friend, Gerri Robinson from Planted Seed Designs. And of course much more inside.

I do not know if you know of the MANQUILTER, but he is who quilted this quilt so I thought I would give him a shout out also. Isn't that a great word, Manquilter? Of course you have to say it in a deep voice for the full effect.

Yes I said giveaway... keep reading.

The gals at McCall's are so clever. They did a quilt option using the same pattern but did it in 30's fabrics and used embroidered tea towels as the centers. Just that idea alone is worth running to the store to pick up your own copy. (pg 64)

Also there is an ad on page 49 from moda about something new available in stores late October. Clue- Fanfare Gift Wrap. Check it out.

Here's the deal. Thanks for reading to the end.

The giveaway is for a magazine and my scraps from this collection. Scraps?! I have good scraps and after all it is a free giveaway. Rounneries will be in stores soon, so once you win my scraps you can order all kinds of yardage from your favorite shop.

I mean run to the stores this group is going to go fast!

Just make a nice comment and you will be entered. Drawing will be September 30th.

The quilt is amazing, oh just my style and I have been coveting this fabric line since I first saw glimpses of it on line a few months ago.have the magazine and the scraps so yes I can order YARDS of it for my own fabric collection and to make this quilt too would make me VERY HAPPY!of course I am going to have to add this red and these fabrics into many of my scrap quilts over the next few years, nope I doubt I will ever tire of this line....congrats cover girl!oh I will be counting the days till the 30th ....Kathie

Oh..yes it did caught my eye...lol...And then looking at the magazine.. and stating to sigh.. and then the fabrics.. ohh.. I´m in love.. and then you started talking about scraps... Oh my goodness..... Im sold.... so please put me in the giveaway.. and I can start dreaming..:o)))

Congrats on making the cover...that is so exciting...and it is a beautiful quilt...and I must admit that I have already purchased my precuts of Rounneries...and can not wait for the yardage to get to the shops...so it would be a serious understatment to say that I would LOVE to win this giveaway....

Love your quilt! I know how exciting it is to get your quilt in a magazine because just this year I won an online contest and my quilt was pictured in a quilt magazine; so, yes, I would love to receive the magazine and your beautiful scraps. Thank you.

oh, oh, oh, I love the Rouenneries line and that quilt. I would love your scraps, give them a nice home and try to make something special out of them.Please tell us how to pronounce Rouenneries, so I don't look stupid asking for it and really butchering the name!!

You are so generous in giving us a copy and some of your stash. I plan to make a few scrappy quilts but I don't have enough. I only restarted serious quilting late last year after completing my master's thesis. Waiting for November for the convocation.

I am looking so forward to the Winding Ways quilt class this weekend by Peggy Gelbrich that I packed everything up and when I went to my sewing room this morning to finish a quilt top before staring another one....I had no machine or supplies! Pull out the featherweight (different seam width) or take a nap? Anyway Big COngrats on making a cover to a quilting magazine!!

Matt the manquilter alerted me to your blog. So you're a mother of FIVE boys and a girl? Just the BOYS here :( And you've been quilting since '79? Thatsa long time:) Love the new line of turkey red fabrics from Moda! Thanks for offering the giveaway. It was fun reading through the comments :)

What a wonderful thing to be picked to be on the cover! Congratulations! Your quilt if beautiful! I, too, love watching the Manquilter online at .ustream.tv/channel/quilting-live, and it's great that you gave him a shout out too! Thanks for the chance to enter your contest.

All I can say is WOW! I love to watch Matt's live webcam when he quilts, he is a lot of inspiration. And to have one of your quilts on the cover, again, is a true feather in your hat. Now, I need to find the magazine!

Wow! I love your quilt design. I have a subscription to McCall's Quilting. I'll be checking the mailbox each day anxiously waiting for my copy. Would love to welcome your scraps into my sewing room. I love scraps especially scraps from other quilters. Have a great weekend!

I can't wait to see the complete quilt in the McCalls mag - unfortunately, wait is what I'll have to do - it takes AGES for the magazines to make it here Downunder! Congratulations on making the cover again :-)Kind regards - Dawn

Congratulations! It must be such a high to see your work on a cover like that and for good reason too! It IS lovely! I'm a scrap quilter at heart...seems I always put out my scrap bin to make stuff; trying to be frugal in a way I guess...I have folded fabs that barely see the light of day! Would love these coordinated lovelies...could probably make a much needed baby quilt from them...got another grandbaby due in the spring! Yipee! THat'll be number 9 in 6 years!

contrats on the cover! may have to spend the last of my barnes and noble gift card to buy that issue.....pick me! pick me! its been a year of noooooooo fabric stash enhancement! I need some bling to my stash! (mauh) Liz

Oh, I just came across your blog for the very first time tonight, how lucky was that! I love your quilts and would love to win the magazine and your scraps--what a privilege! I will not enjoy reading your blog--Thanks.

Oh how wonderful for you!!! That quilt is beautiful and having just this year started my stash and scrap bin I would love to add yours to it! Not to mention I'm a red and white junkie :) hehe! the magazine looks great! I can't wait to get a look at the whole thing!

It must be very satisfying indeed, to see your work in publication. Especially after all those long hours spent designing, cutting and stitching. I'll have to wait a while for this issue as October has only just reached the newsstands here. I'm looking forwrad to it!

Congratulations!!! Another beautiful quilt. Your other magazine cover quilt is on my 'must do' list and now I'll have to add this one too. As for the Manquilter, I love seeing men quilt. My very first quilt class last year had one gentleman in it. He picked all of his own colors which was so amazing to me because I was so new to all of this and I'm still shy about my ability to choose colors but I have to tell you that his quilt was without a doubt, the most beautiful quilt out of the 20 + quilts made in the class. He had been quilting for 5 years and was also working on his Masters in computer science and he had 2 children with a 3rd on the way. He said quilting was his stress relief. (I can relate to that!) I do wish more men would give it a try. I know they are out there, lurking, wanting to try it but worried about what people will say. Okay, I'm off to get my copy of the magazine, I really want to win one from you along with those wonderful scraps but it never hurts to have a back up copy ... does it? Good luck everyone and thank you Lissa for a fun giveaway.

Congrats! That is so very exciting. I can't wait to get my hands on this line. Precuts and yardage, which I rarely buy both of a line, unless its something specific. This one is going to be used in many projects.

Um, I have an Obsession with quilt books and magazines. And I absolutely LOVE scraps. Um, another obsession. I've had your blog bookmarked for a while and really enjoy keeping up with you (: izazbz at yahoo dot com

Oh, please, I need those scraps. I LOVE French General and have had an order placed for months for the fabric. I have such plans for the many yards I have ordered. I have not been able to find the magazine as yet. Love your stuff - I want to see your quilt.

Never have I seen such a faithful rendition of French 18thC fabrics for modern use as Kaari has done. Your design for using her fabrics is gorgeous--I can see myself slipping between hemp or linen sheets and pulling up my coverlit made from your quilt!

Scraps, I love scraps, you can make all kinds of nice things out of scraps and I have some planned... maybe even for the holidays, that is if the magazine gives me some inspiration! And I think it will....

Congratulations Covergirl! I actually came over looking for a quilt of yours I had seen before. It was blue and green and for a baby girl in your life. And then I see French General on your latest entry! Wowee. I am having so much fun on your blog tonight. :)

I just founf you from Nancy's blog as she is going to make your quilt in January........I wanted to see where the pattern came from and not realising you had a giveaway but the only way I will get the pattern is if I win this magazine........

the quilt looks great...........and that new range looks beautiful.......
